Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars?
Here’s a way to change all that.
-
Before your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare
yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5"x 5" is a good size.
Divide the card into columns - five across and five down. That
will give you 25 one-inch blocks. -
Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
- synergy
- strategic fit
- core competencies
- best practice
- bottom line
- revisit
- take that off-line
- 24/7
- out of the loop
- benchmark
- value-added
- proactive
- win-win
- think outside the box
- fast track
- result-driven
- empower (or empowerment)
- knowledge base
- at the end of the day
- touch base
- mind set
- client focus(ed)
- paradigm
- game plan
- leverage
-
Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those
words/phrases spoken by the speaker. -
When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or
diagonally, stand up and shout… “BULLS**T!”
